Teaching Students How to Make Inferences

Making Inferences can be a difficult concept to teach, as many students struggle shifting from concrete to abstract learning.  This product offers weeks of classroom printable handouts that can be used for warm-ups, reading centers, classwork, homework and more. Dr. Warren created and published this engaging 60 page workbook to walk students through the learning process. Initially, students are guided to find implied meaning hidden in pictures, and then they work up to product names, slogans, metaphors and finally sentences.  There is even a fun game that is included.  Come get a free sampling today!

Cheers, Erica
